The information technology sector experienced the largest drop in the number of published job advertisements by as much as 50 percent in 2023 compared to 2022.

The total decrease in the number of job advertisements in 2023, compared to the previous year, is six percent, which indicates a certain decrease in activity on the labor market, according to the data of the website Poslovi Infostud, which were published today.

The information technology sector experienced the largest drop in the number of published positions by as much as 50 percent compared to 2022.

Looking at the entire labor market, 2023 job advertisements were published in 71.715, which is six percent less than in 2022.

On the other hand, the number of those looking for work is noticeable by 14 percent.

Analysis of the structure of advertisements in that period shows that the most advertised positions were in the areas of: trade/sales, IT, mechanical engineering, administration and warehouse.

When talking about specific job positions, salespeople, storekeepers, drivers, production workers, administrative workers and salespeople had the most opportunities to get a job, according to Infostud.

The deficit is still, as the analysis adds, most noticeable among craft and lower-skilled occupations, so it was most difficult for employers to find workers for positions such as butchers, mechanics, hairdressers, bakers, metal turners, carpenters and plumbers.

In the beginning was virtue.

At the moment when the institutions of the Republic are destroyed, when Vučić's octopus is still alive, when people are disgusted by the injustice and the stench left behind by the Essenes regime, we have, as Machiavelli said, only civic virtue as the fuel with which we can return to the beginning
